See here, 1. How the guilt of sin is taken away from us--by the mercy
and truth of God, mercy in promising, truth in performing, the mercy
and truth which kiss each other in Jesus Christ the Mediator--by the
covenant of grace, in which mercy and truth shine so brightly--by our
mercy and truth, as the condition of the pardon and a necessary
qualification for it--by these, and not by the legal sacrifices, Mic.
vi. 7, 8. 2. How the power of sin is broken in us. By the principles of
mercy and truth commanding in us the corrupt inclinations are purged
out (so we may take the former part); however, by the fear of the Lord,
and the influence of that fear, men depart from evil; those will not
dare to sin against God who keep up in their minds a holy dread and
reverence of him.
